HISTORY

Our Background

CaribNRG Limited developed in association with Enercon Engineering Inc of Illinois USA packaged small‐bore diesel power plant where by each generating set is installed in a stand‐alone enclosure. The target engine range is the small bore diesel engines of up to 28cm bore which can provide up to 6MW per engine depending on the manufacturer chosen.

The enclosure concept enables the project installation schedule to be considerably shorter than building a conventional power station. This approach means lower civil works costs and the ‘plug‐and‐play’ concept for the balance of plant results in a lower cost‐to‐build per kilowatt than typical conventional power station installations.

In 2008/09 a 3 x 1.4 MW MAN 7L28/32H facility with heavy fuel oil capability based on the enclosure concept was installed in Dominica for the local island utility.

In 2009 CaribNRG Limited developed and installed a 1 x 4 MW MAN 18V28/32S generator installation project to operate on heavy fuel oil for the Government of St. Kitts based on the conventional power station concept using the MAN 18V28/32S generating set. This 4 MW generating set installation was to replace a generating set that failed and was decommissioned in October 2008.

CaribNRG Limited has recently completed installing 4 x MAN 18V28/32S generating sets to operate on heavy fuel oil for the Government of St. Kitts using the enclosure design concept. The first phase of 2 x MAN18V28/32S were commissioned at the end of October 2010 after starting in June. The second phase was completed in May 2011.
